Both the fights against Minato and her father don't count for her because both of them were considerably stronger than her at the time, while the battle against the demon guarding the barrier was way too easy for her. If you guys were wondering why I said that at the end. Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter!
Shira's fighting abilities increased continuously as she fought the pride demon, but there was something weird about him, no matter how better Shira got, there was no sweat on his brow, and his expression remained the same, making him look like he was fully in control of the fight, even though Shira started to land blows on his body using her hybrid form.It was certainly quite strange, especially since the pride demon even decided to sheathe his katanas once again.Shira wasn't sure if he was getting stronger at the same time as she was.So she decided to end the fight between the two of them in one sure strike that would kill the demon instantly!Shira's flaming body flickered constantly as she continuously improved and added new experiences to her fighting style.She even started to change her hybrid transformation, sometimes flicking back to human limbs or phoenix wings to combine certain attacks that enhanced her power and unpredictability.Things seemed to look good for her, but
The oni demon couldn't stretch his head to look at the situation of his allies, but he could sense that their auras had disappeared.The lack of sins that should have converged on his body made the blood vessels on his forehead pop up as the steadily increasing anger in his mind fully exploded at once!His muscles tripled in size as his body grew alongside them to support the new weight.The tattoos on his life were becoming more and more life-like, while Alliron and Aratas couldn't help but look at each other and nod.Now that the other two fights had been finished, they could go full power without the worry of the sins of the other two flying towards the oni demon and powering him up.Alliron stretched his body like a cat would, before the aura around his body changed entirely.Bloody mirages covered his whole body, showing decapitated bodies, sewn corpses to create chimeras and amalgamations of beings, bloody cadavers with missing organs, and many other scientifical experiments tha
The wrath demon was unable to block or dodge the attacks that boxed him in.Aratas's spear made its way between the Oni's legs, hitting him there directly, making him keel in pain as Alliron hit him over the head with a blood hammer from above!I clutched my chest as I felt my new three hearts beating at a rhythm that was in tune with the surroundings.It was almost as if all the previous tortures didn't apply to me anymore as I felt the breath that I took in was rather sweet.No more attacks from the surroundings were being put onto my body and mind, and I could feel that my soul had finally reached a full sin cleansing!I looked down at my hands while everything around me turned to a standstill.Shira was captured in a pose where she was striking the demon's back with her claws, ready to rip out his flesh.While Alliron was now wielding double hammers in his hands, trying to bash in the demon's head with them, just as if he was playing the drum.Lastly, Aratas was focusing on the de
While Alliron was making sure to be out of the beast's sensing area so it wouldn't change its targets, I was fighting it head-on!The wrath beast's attacks were scarring my very being, making my skeleton shudder as the power of the strikes were slowly crippling my body.Every attack I forcefully withstood made cracks appear all over my skin, my muscles cried out as they deflated, and the energy in my body was thrown in disarray.It was pure torture, something even worse than the previous tortures of hell combined.Especially since it was oh so slow, I couldn't help but glance at Alliron, hoping that his astral bow was ready for shooting, but I could see that he barely only made the base of the bow. He still needed the string and arrows!I clenched my fists as the beast socked me directly in the jaw, dislocating it entirely.I glared at the beast with my swollen eyes as I put my jaw back into its place and barely dodged another attack that would have taken my head cleanly off my should
My head was swimming as my eyes were closed while I was resting, I could hear the rough breathing of the nearby Alliron, and I could also feel that Shira was getting closer to my location before sitting just right next to me.I didn't open my eyes as I felt her hand on my forehead, she was giving me a gentle supply of energy to help me with my recovery.I nodded slightly at her action, most likely making her smile.My torn muscles and cracked bones were slowly mending without any immediate threat to break them anymore, the energy pool inside my body was slowly recovering, transforming into a calm ocean that regained its peace after a tumultuous storm.The 9th layer was supposed to have even further tortures for us, but hell understood our situations and had stopped all tortures from affecting us, we were being 'pardoned' for helping it.Of course, the remaining demons who were still alive were most likely going through beatings from the law enforcers combined with the tortures of the
After tasting despair, I could feel that the surrounding air had become completely cold, as I breathed in and out, I could see my breath create large clouds of mist that didn't dissipate for a short time.Everyone else was looking at the giant pupil that was previously the blood-red moon.The pupil was looking down at us, moving its iris from side to side, analyzing all of us slowly.Before we knew what happened, a thunderous crack was heard in the surroundings, and a slide appeared up from the eye.The eye opened up in the middle, revealing a rather short furry creature.Its fur was completely black, he had bright red eyes and yellow pupils, and he was going down the slide at quick speeds, approaching us.Alliron and Aratas looked at each other as they nodded, while I and Shira kept close to each other, making sure that we were suppressing the jumping sins we had jailed in our bodies.The closer this being was to us, the more we felt the sins in our bodies trying to break free.It wa
The devil immediately waved his pitchfork lightly, making the surroundings change as we were all trapped in a labyrinth that came out of the ground, splitting us up into two groups:"I might not be able to take you all at once, but what if I split you up!?"The speed of the labyrinth was too quick, so I could not get near Alliron and Aratas in time, but at least Shira was near me when it happened.Shira looked at the labyrinth ahead as she did her best to control the rampaging sins in her body, now that the devil was going all out, the sins were being empowered as they tried to rip themselves away from us so they could go back to their original master.However, would we let them go so easily?The answer was an obvious no, I slapped myself around some parts of my body, locking them up and making the escape of the sins impossible. No matter how hard they tried to batter my insides and damage my energy pool, I would not let them go!Shira steeled her gaze and mimicked my actions before s
Everyone's taut muscles started to relax slowly as the danger from the devil's presence passed by.We knew that he wasn't going to give up that easily, but for now, he retreated.Aratas and Alliron glanced at me and Shira before nodding:"It looks like you were able to easily hold him back. You two had grown considerably, maybe being even as strong as us right now!"Shira couldn't help but start blushing at the praise after she had reverted from her hybrid form.She scratched the back of her head as she twirled some of her red hair onto her fingers, very happy at the praise.I nodded slowly toward them, I thought of as much, even though the duo seemed to have been shrouded by mysteries, their strengths weren't to the point they learned and mastered laws, they were quite close, but due to the lack of opportunity, they were unable to progress to that area, but now, with the devil triggering that state in them after they had fought the rage demon to his peak ability, they were able to fi
